Important information

Washing and drying preparing/Protecting the laundry and the machine
Empty pockets.
Remove any metal items (paperclips, etc.).
Trousers, knitwear and knitted textiles, e.g. Jersey garments, T-shirts or sweatshirts should
be turned inside out.
Ensure that underwired bras are machine washable.
Wash delicates in a net/bag (tights, curtains, underwired bras).
Fasten zips, do up any buttons.

Before tumble-drying, handwash items should be spun at the appropriate spin speed.
Remove as much water as possible before tumble-drying. Recommended spin speed for
cottons is more than 1000 rpm; for easy-care is more than 800 rpm.
In order to ensure uniform drying, sort the items according to fabric type and degree
ofâdrying required.
Items which require ironing do not have to be ironed immediately after being tumble-dried.
It is a good idea to fold or roll them together for a while, so that any remaining moisture
isâevenly distributed.
To achieve good drying performance, dry quilt covers, terry towels or other large textile
items individually. Terry towels not more than 4 pieces (or 3 kg).
Before using for the first time
Do not put any laundry in the washer dryer. Turn on the tap, pour ½ measuring cup

Important information

Washing and drying preparing/Protecting the laundry and the machine
Empty pockets.
Remove any metal items (paperclips, etc.).
Trousers, knitwear and knitted textiles, e.g. Jersey garments, T-shirts or sweatshirts should
be turned inside out.
Ensure that underwired bras are machine washable.
Wash delicates in a net/bag (tights, curtains, underwired bras).
Fasten zips, do up any buttons.
Brush sand out of pockets and collars.
Remove curtain hooks or place curtains in a net/bag.
Use only tumble-dry textiles if you select drying.
Before tumble-drying, handwash items should be spun at the appropriate spin speed.
Remove as much water as possible before tumble-drying. Recommended spin speed for
cottons is more than 1000 rpm; for easy-care is more than 800 rpm.
In order to ensure uniform drying, sort the items according to fabric type and degree
of
âdrying required.
Items which require ironing do not have to be ironed immediately after being tumble-dried.
It is a good idea to fold or roll them together for a while, so that any remaining moisture
isâevenly distributed.
To achieve good drying performance, dry quilt covers, terry towels or other large textile
items individually. Terry towels not more than 4 pieces (or 3 kg).
Before using for the first time
Do not put any laundry in the washer dryer. Turn on the tap, pour ½ measuring cup
of detergent into dispenser II. Set the Retirar pelusas/fios 40 °C programme and
select Inicio/Pausa+Carga. At the end of the programme, set the programme selector
to  Stop.

If required, pretreat stains. Select Algodón/Algodão programme
orâStains additional function.
Soaking

Pour soaking agent/detergent into compartment II according to the manufacturer's
instructions. Set Algodón/Algodão 30 °C programme and select Inicio/Pausa+Carga.
After approx. 10 minutes, selectInicio/Pausa+Carga. After the required soaking time, reselect
Inicio/Pausa+Carga if the programme is to be continued or change the programme.
Starching
Laundry must not be treated with fabric softener
Starching is possible in all wash programmes using liquid starch. Pour the starch into the
fabric softener compartment according to the manufacturer's instructions (if required, clean
compartment first).

Dye should only be used in normal household quantities. Salt may damage stainless steel.
Always follow the dye manufacturer's instructions.
Do not bleach laundry in the washing machine.
